He now is in a position to do so, which has led to some social media speculation about scenarios in which the Cardinals crazily did that just a year after trading up to draft Josh Rosen.

Some have suggested the Cardinals could draft Murray first overall and trade Rosen to a QB-needy team like the New York Giants, for example.

This is fun speculation, especially with Kingsbury’s comments about Murray when he was still coaching Texas Tech, and considering Rosen’s struggles as a rookie.

However, it would be a terrible football move.

Leaving aside the fact that the organization is bullish about Rosen and his future as a franchise quarterback and the fact they gave up draft assets just a year ago to be able to draft him, trading Rosen is financial doom.

His contract is fully guaranteed. If the Cardinals were to trade him or cut him, not only would it not save them any money against the salary cap, they would lose nearly $10.4 million in cap space to do it.

That’s not something an NFL team can do and create or sustain any sort of success.

Yes, it is something fun to throw around on social media. It doesn’t actually work in the real world of the NFL.

Some might say the Cardinals already made a crazy move to hire Kingsbury. But to trade Rosen after only one year would be crazy dumb.
